In the book of Acts when Paul came into Rome, the first thing he did, and his custom was that every city he came into, he went to the Jews first. And when the Jews rejected the gospel, he went to the Gentiles in the same city. Well, when he comes into Rome, he goes to visit the Jews. And he says, "Have you heard anything about Christ?" And they said "Well, we've heard rumors and they are not very good rumors." And that's about all. Nobody had actually come and preached to them and shared with them the gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are other theories out there, but I can tell you right now that they can pretty well be shot down. But there are some interesting theories. One theory is that Peter actually went to Rome and that's how the people got saved in Rome and that he was leading the church in Rome. But there is no historical record of that.
When Paul writes to Rome, he doesn't address Peter at all. He would have if Peter were there. Some people have him there as long as 25 years. When Paul signs off his letter in Romans Chapter 16, he doesn't greet Peter. He doesn't mention Peter at all. Plus, in Romans Chapter 15, Paul actually stated that he would not minister in someone else's area.
If another apostle was around preaching the things of Christ, if Peter was in Rome, Paul would not have gone there because he says, "I will not go and build upon another man's foundation." He says that he will not do that!
